MC256 - Master of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering)

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS 

For students commencing an engineering degree from Semester 1 2024, completing the Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module will be a requirement for graduation. The EPP module will prepare you for a career as a fully accredited professional engineer. By completing the module, you will gain and demonstrate sound proficiencies in engineering knowledge, apply engineering applications and processes, and develop professional skills and values that align with the competency expected from a professional engineer in the workplace.

You must complete a total of 192 credit points as follows:
- Twelve (12) core courses   
- Masters Research Project (consisting of One (1) 48 credit point course or Two (2) 24 credit point courses)

ENROLMENT LOAD 
 
Full-time study load is 48 credit points or Four (4) courses equivalent each semester. 
Part-time study load is 24 credit points, or Two (2) course equivalent each semester. 

COURSE REQUISITES 

You are required to successfully complete relevant prerequisites in the program in order to progress to the next stage of your studies. Please ensure that you have met the necessary prerequisites by checking course guides.

Year One of Program

If you are a student commencing first year of an Engineers Australia accredited higher education postgraduate engineering coursework degree from Semester 1 2024, the Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module is a requirement for graduation.  

Exemptions: 

1. Students who commenced an RMIT postgraduate engineering coursework degree before Semester 1 2024 are exempt from undertaking the EPP module as a requirement for graduation but may opt into the module. 
2. Students who articulate with credits into higher year levels of an RMIT postgraduate engineering coursework degree in Semester 1 2024 and will graduate in 2024 are exempt from undertaking the EPP module as a requirement for graduation but may opt into the module. 

The EPP module is ongoing throughout your degree, providing continuous development and requiring you to complete 210 hours of engineering-related activities. The total hours can comprise a combination of prior engineering work, other current work, volunteering, roles in clubs, organisations and events, and professional development activities.   

Completing the EPP module involves logging professional practice activities and providing a reflection response on learning to showcase your sound proficiencies in engineering knowledge, applications of engineering processes, professional skills and values that align with the competencies expected from a professional engineer in the workplace. 

The online dashboard to submit your activities will be available from March 2024 in the School of Engineering Masters by Coursework Canvas shell (student log in required) https://rmit.instructure.com/courses/89127
